What to Compare Before Buying
- Saddle size: This pad is sized for 17.5"-18". Check that your saddle matches that size range.
- Fit under the saddle: The convex shape is meant to create clearance under the gullet, so compare it with the shape and fit of your saddle setup.
- Outer and padding: The pad uses a cotton outer with ProComfort SupaFleece. Compare that finish with the feel and care you want from a half pad.
- Colour: The pad is white/natural, which matters if you are matching existing tack.
Before You Decide
Confirm the 17.5"-18" size matches your saddle before choosing an offer. If the white/natural finish matters, check that it suits the rest of your tack. The convex shape and hardwearing patches are part of the stated design, so compare them with your preferred saddle pad style.
